Poverty & Disadvantage

Poverty and disadvantage has an impact on all aspects of life; well-being, poorer health, ability to participate in community and access to education and employment.

Our aim in this program area is to address underlying problems that give rise to poverty and disadvantage, and to find ways to strengthen systems, services, communities and individuals to prevent poverty and to reduce disadvantage for those who are most at risk.

Capacity Building Stream

Grants for capacity building will be made to community-based and not-for-profit organisations that are working with young people aged from 12 to 23 years living in or transitioning out of out-of-home care.
